The sun had been down for a while now but Nicky was still unsure, the one place she knew for certain she was safe was in this hole, she wanted to be certain before she left, slowly Nicky got to her feet she stuck out her pinky and slowly lifted it out of the grave into the cool air above. A noise at her feet took Nicky by surprise she quickly jumped into one of the corners and bared her teeth, a strange feeling came from her gums as she felt her fangs grow and another feeling occured on her face it felt like something was moving just under the skin around her eyes. These sensations cause her to forget the noise, Nicky focused solely on the changes happening on her face "what the fuck is this?" she exclaimed rubbing the skin around her eyes trying to make the feeling stop. Another noise came from below Nicky this time a pained groan, then Nicky remembered the girl she had knocked out. The one who was going to bury her alive. The one who helped that psycho kidnap her. Anger rose in Nicky and the sensations returned but this time she didn't care, this girl had the answers she wanted, the girl slowly pulled herself up onto her elbows and began rubbing the back of her head "what the hell happened?" she asked herself obviously unaware of Nickys presence "did i fall in?" the girl looked up to the sky to try and figure out the reason for her fall and noticed Nicky standing in front of her. The girl smiled "Katherine what are you doing here? what happened?" she asked as she slowly got to her feet, her legs wobbled beneath her, she was still a little dazed. The moment that name was said Nicky couldn't hold back her anger, she rushed forwards faster than she thought possible and grabbed ahold of the girls shirt lifting her clear off the floor and slamming her into the wall "i am not Katherine".
"I thought you were dead" the girl said her voice surprisingly calm for the content of the statement, Nicky ignored her "What did you do to me?!" she shouted the sensations in her face growing stronger. A look of realisation came over the girl "oh thats what happened" she said her eyes glued to the skin around Nickys eyes "you're one of them now", Nicky slammed her into the wall again "one of what?" she demanded the girl sighed "a vampire just like Katherine" she explained. Nicky dropped the girl and turned away from her "a vampire?" she thought to herself, she turned back to the girl "it's not fucking possible" she said "they don't exist". You don't exist" the girl corrected "how else do you explain being stabbed in the chest and waking up the next day without a mark on you", she couldn't Nicky felt where the wound had been but there was no sign just smooth skin the only indication anything had happened at all was the hole in her shirt and the blood which had soaked into it. "What the hell's happening to me?" she said closing her coat so it covered the bloody hole, the girl shrugged "Katherines the one to ask about that" she suggested "i only really know the bare minimum".
The anger rose inside Nicky again "i'm not asking that bitch for a damn thing i'd rather die" she growled trying to contain her anger, the girl sighed again "i know what she did was wrong but you have to understand that she had her reasons she been through a lot recently and she just..". Nicky didn't let the girl continue she span around and grabbed her by the throat, she pulled the girl closer "oh im sorry i didn't realise she had issues by all means USE ME LIKE A FUCKING PUPPET AGAIN" she shouted screaming in the girl's face.
The girl struggled under Nickys grip, her hands position gave her a perfect reading of the girls frantic pulse, but there was something strange about it, nothing strange about the pluse itself more how it made Nicky feel. As more and more of her attention was drawn to the rapid beating the calmer Nicky felt, her anger was quickly dripping away with every beat of this girls heart replaced by something else. A hunger.
"I know you're angry but believe me we're not as bad as you think just come back to the dorms with me and we'll explain everything" the girl said but Nicky was no longer listening her thought were entirely consumed by the beating of the girls heart. As she listen more closely Nicky could hear the blood as it rushed through the girls veins, the sound made her hunger grow and her throat go dry, she needed to drink. she wanted something to drink so bad "this girl deserved a little punishment" Nicky thought "after everything she did she has to pay"
"in blood"
Nickys hand moved behind the girls neck leaving her throat bare before her, slowly Nicky lowered her mouth to the girls throat, the beating grew stronger Nicky could feel the veins pulse move against her lips. Nicky free her mouth open and pressed her teeth against the girls neck. weather she was protesting or saying anything at all was unknown to Nicky all that existed was blood. Finally Nicky sank her teeth into the girls neck releasing the blood which flowed out of the wound and down Nickys throat. The sweet taste was intoxicating, the whole world seemed to melt away as the blood washed her mind clean. No worrys. no anger. Just blood.
It took Nicky minutes to drain the girl, once no more precious blood came Nickys mind returned and she realised the now pale girl who with a pathetic whimper collapsed in a head on the floor at Nickys feet. "Holy shit" Nicky exclaimed as she licked the last remnants of blood from her hands and face, once she was clean she looked down at the dead girl whose life she had just taken. "You'll both pay for what you did" Nicky said before spitting on the corpse.
Nicky climbed out of the hole and looked around her, the night was as clear as the day, clearer even, every detail was visible. It was like someone turned her life on to HIDef. Nicky used this new sight to find the car that had brought her here, Turning the key she left the woods of her rebirth and drove back the way the girl had come hoping to see a road sign before morning came. She quickly checked the clock on the dashboard "shit" she cursed there was no way she would get back in time. She had to think quickly or she'd be charcoal.
As soon as Nadia awoke she knew what she was going to do. What had to be done. She quickly got dressed and rushed out of her room, instantly she noticed the corpse on the floor, slightly intrigued she ventured over to it and gave the body a quick nudge just to be sure "someone's been messy" Nadia said giving the dead waitress another poke. "Well she made the mess she can clean it up i haven't got time for this" She turned her back on the corpse and walked over to the balcony, She jumped up onto the wall and stepped off the edge without a moment's hesitation. The wind rushed through her hair blowing it wildly around her as she fell towards the pavement below, Nadia braced herself and landed on the floor, a slight pain tingled in her shins but that quickly disappeared, Nadia glanced back up to the room she had been in seconds before hand and smirked at her own durability before heading off in search of a taxi.
After compelling a quick ride she headed out of the city and headed out of the city, after all the years she spent in France Nadia knew a few Traveller families she could call upon but only one that was close enough to be of any use. After a lengthy drive the taxi pulled up outside a open field, clearly visible from the road was a large campsite at the middle, she ordered the driver to stay put and headed towards the camp, this would finally put an end to it.
